Occupational opportunities
The graduate in Animal Science and Technology will be involved in the management of farms accounting different livestock species and sports animals, combining the most modern technical criteria of production with the sustainability, the ecological compatibility and the market globalization processes. The Graduate's professional activities will be carried out mainly in farms and industries belonging to the feed and food of animal origin chains. The Graduate in Animal Science and Technology will be able to operate in public and private companies dealing with livestock breeding and production, as well as in companies associated with the production of feeds, raw materials, and implants for livestock farming. Graduates can also operate as private consultant for farms after a specific examination for freelance.
